Media Outlets Promote Climate Change Echo Chamber By Aly Nielsen Liberal nonprofits reflect the biases of their donors. So when supposedly unbiased media outlets build relationships with those nonprofits, they blur the lines between activism and reporting. The “journalistic collaboration” Climate Desk is a perfect example. It acts like a liberal echo chamber of climate alarmism, with multiple outlets running the exact same story to increase its reach. For-profit media outlets including The Atlantic, The Guardian and Newsweek, partnered with...

CJR Finds Scientific Opposition to Linking Hurricanes and Global Warming By Aly Nielsen A surprising report from the George Soros-funded Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) revealed several scientists oppose the way the media have tried to blame hurricanes on man-made climate change. CJR used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to acquire emails “sent from or received by six hurricane researchers or forecasters” which included the terms “global warming” or “climate change.” The May 2, article written by Rob Verger indicate...

Climate Alarmist Groups Panic Over New NY Times Columnist By Aly Nielsen There was a time when the offensive term “climate change denier” referred to those who directly disputed the existence of global warming. Now, the term is affixed to anyone who doesn’t promote the radical policy demands of climate alarmists. Left-wing climate website DeSmog Blog criticized The New York Times on April 25, for hiring “a climate science denier.” The person they labeled a “denier,” was Pulitzer Prize winning...

People’s Climate March Steering Committee Got $36 Million from Soros By Aly Nielsen The “People’s Climate March,” scheduled for the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency, claims to be a movement of the people. But is it really? It turns out one-third of the steering committee organizations have one thing in common — donations from George Soros. The liberal billionaire gave them more than $36 million combined. So far the broadcast networks have not made the connection. Between 2000 and...

Climate Journalism Groups Panic Over EPA Rollback By Aly Nielsen Temperatures rose at climate journalism non-profits when President Donald Trump issued an executive order rolling back many of the Obama-era climate regulations. The executive order requires the EPA to “review Obama’s Clean Power Plan, rescind the moratorium on coal mining on US federal lands,” and review the impact existing regulations have on jobs, according to CNN. Grist, Democracy Now!, DeSmog Blog and InsideClimate all proved their liberal bias and activist...

InsideClimate,Grist and DeSmog Smear Trump Appointees as Climate ‘Deniers’ By Aly Nielsen Liberal climate blogs have insulted climate change skeptics with a term reminiscent of Holocaust deniers almost every other day — just since Donald Trump’s election. InsideClimate News, DeSmogBlog and Grist smeared people skeptical of claims about man-made climate change labeling them “deniers” on Twitter at least 69 times combined between Nov. 8, 2016, and March 27, 2017. “In Trump, U.S. puts a climate denier in its highest...

DeSmog: Koch Funding for Black Students is Racist By Aly Nielsen DeSmog Blog is up in arms over Koch-funded Scholarships, but sees no problem with its own liberal agenda and donors. DeSmogBlog writer Sharon Kelly suggested the Koch brothers were hypocritical and racist for funding private grants and giving to colleges while opposing Federal student loan programs in a Feb. 15 article. Kelly found an anti-Koch organizer condemning Koch donations for having “strings attached,” but made sure not to address DeSmog...

ProPublica and InsideClimate Encourage Whistleblowing Under Trump By Sarah Stites Liberals encourage whistleblowing just so long as it makes the Trump Administration look bad. Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump was sworn-in as president, liberal foundation-funded media outlets updated their websites inviting government workers to leak insider knowledge on climate-related policy developments. “If you see something, say something,” ProPublica senior climate reporter Andrew Revkin urged. “ProPublica is eager to get tips on shifts in available government information related to...

Grist Responds to SCOTUS Nominee By Bashing His Mom Julia A. Seymour President Donald Trump announced his pick for the empty Supreme Court seat would be federal appeals court Judge Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch is a “solidly conservative judge” and a strict interpreter of the Constitution, according to NPR. In 2006 he was easily confirmed to the federal appeals court and the American Bar Association rated him as “unanimously well qualified,” NPR noted. But his “sterling legal pedigree” didn’t keep Grist.org...
